Robert Earl Keen - 99 Years For One Dark Day lyrics

I've been in this prison twenty years or more I shot my woman with a 44 I'll be right here till my dyin' day I got 99 years for one dark day Well the food is bad and the beds are hard I spend all day breakin' rocks in the yard Well there ain't no change, gonna stay that way I got 99 years for one dark day Ain't no singer that can sing a song Ain't no one saying that I ain't wrong His mind's made up, gonna stay that way I got 99 years for one dark day I never learned to read, I never learned to write My whole life's been one big fight I never heard about the righteous way I got 99 years for one dark day I remember a time many years ago I shot my woman with a 44 I'll be right here till my dyin' day I got 99 years for one dark day I got 99 years for one dark day
